"rush out!!!"
For this round of support firepower from the Zhouyi army, Liu Meng is undoubtedly prepared for it.
Seizing the opportunity, the vanguard led by him made a strong breakthrough.
But Baltha obviously didn't intend to let them go like this. Relying on the space-traveling ability of the Void Centipede and the Void Borrower, Baltha issued an order to try to directly cut off their retreat with the Void Centipede and the Void Borrower.
At the same time, it also immediately dispatched a slicing force to force it towards the direction where the Zhouyi army's support firepower swept over.
This move was first to confirm the opponent's trace, and second, to contain the opponent's actions, so that the opponent could not carry out follow-up support, so that it could successfully swallow the vanguard.
In that situation, being able to confirm the opposite's actions in an instant, and immediately make the corresponding deployment, this response is definitely considered fast.
The slashers were fast, and they were ordered by Baltha to launch a raid at full speed, which allowed them to quickly discover the traces of the opposing support fleet.
The support fleet on the opposite side was undoubtedly focused on the firepower in the back row. Obviously, there was no plan to fight against them. As soon as the Shards appeared, the support fleet immediately made a retreat.
Seeing that, it seemed that he was planning to withdraw directly from the battlefield just like that.
At the same time, on the other side, along with the violent distortion of space, the void centipedes and void burrowers that quickly drilled out of the cracks in the space have already accurately blocked the path that the vanguard must pass and blocked Their retreat.
At the same time, the Zergs chasing soldiers in the rear also followed Baltha's instructions to directly outflank them from both sides.
Now the situation has taken shape. As long as the Void Burrower and Void Centipede can block the vanguard for a while, an entire encirclement can take shape immediately!
Of course, Baltha will not let go of this, just when it is preparing to further mobilize its forces, increase the size of its pursuits, and strengthen the encirclement, it will come from another direction on the outer periphery of the planet. The firepower strikes that were larger and more intensive than before, quickly swept in!
At that moment, the Void Centipede and Void Burrower, who were blocking the way, were completely swallowed by this round of firepower on the spot.
After a round of fire broke out, the encirclement that was already about to take shape was once again forcibly blasted away, and at the same time, Baltha's plan was abruptly disrupted.
And this is precisely from the advance layout of Zhouyi.
Zhou Yi divided his support firepower into two parts, and at the same time the support position was also divided into two points.
The position where 20% of veterans and some recruits are located is the No. 1 fire support point.
The position of the remaining forces is the No. 2 fire support point.
The direction of the No. 1 fire support point and the vanguard ship’s breakthrough is at an angle of 30 degrees close to the opposite side.
With this attack angle, combined with the firepower formation, they can cover their limited firepower to more enemies.
When this gap was opened, the initial encirclement of Zerg was broken. At that time, Liu Meng would lead his army out of the gap, and then evacuate them according to the route given by Zhou Yi.
Under this premise, ordinary Zerg troops, wanting to stop the vanguard in a short time and prevent them from breaking through, it is basically useless.
Not only because of speed, but also because of Liu Meng's strength.
Ordinary troops, even if they catch up, will be torn apart and surrounded by Liu Meng.
Therefore, in this situation, if the opposing commander insists on keeping people, he will have to send out the Void Centipede and Void Burrower in all likelihood.
Out of this consideration, Zhouyi established the No. 2 fire support point and deployed all the remaining troops there.
Compared to the fire support point No. 1 which has a high possibility of being attacked by Zerg after the shot, the situation of the fire support point No. 2 is undoubtedly easier.
There are veterans who attract the attention of Zergs, and the possibility that they will be spotted will be greatly reduced.
As for the forces deployed by Zhouyi at the No. 2 fire support point, the target of attack from the beginning was the Void Borrower and Void Centipede, or other Zerg troops.
Of course, even in Zhouyi, it is impossible to pinpoint where the Zerg will appear.
However, the problem is not big. At that time, you only need to adjust the attack position and attack angle according to his orders in accordance with the actual situation.
Although the recruits lack actual combat experience with the Zerg, they are, anyhow, regular troops from various countries. There is no problem with this basic operation.
So far, everything is going very smoothly.
Baltha's backhand was broken by Zhou Yi's backhand.
But Baltha made it clear that he did not intend to stop there, and wanted to fight for it. However, Zhou Yi and Liu Meng were not vegetarians. Both sides reacted accordingly. With the repeated countermeasures before, on this battlefield, Zhou Yi was undoubtedly already. Gained a certain degree of dominance.
Under his continuous dealings, he finally broke away from the opposing planet's defensive circle.
After this, the opponent didn't dare to chase too far, probably because he was worried that he would chase too far. He accidentally fell into the pit that Zhou Yi dug, and was killed by the pit on the opposite side.
With this in mind, Baltha could only give up and withdrew the army, but still left some small zergs. He secretly tracked Zhou Yi and Liu Meng's troops, trying to figure out the location of their frontline strongholds.
However, it is obviously impossible for the two to make such a low-level mistake.
I saw the two pass through the qi inside, and consciously followed their zergs with secretly, and circled the outer universe at the same time, they also quickly dispatched the scout shuttle of the mechanical race to start tracking the zergs. Lock them, and finally seize an opportunity to take them out of one pot.
After confirming that there were no Zergs following them, they circled in the outer universe two more times before returning to their own void base.
After this round of fighting, many recruits in the Zhouyi Expeditionary Army were very excited.
After all, although they are regular troops, many of them have never been on the battlefield at all, let alone fight the Zerg.
Now they have not only fought against the Zerg, they even have the upper hand, which has significantly increased the confidence of the recruits.
But in fact, the position at that time could be done well by changing any army.
In addition, when the two sides were fighting at the time, it was obvious that they were only inclined to test each other, and did not mean to fight **** as soon as they came up. This made the recruits on the second point not need to bear any pressure at all.
Most of the pressure was borne by Liu Meng's vanguard army and the veterans at Point 1.
On the other hand, the casualties of the veterans are undoubtedly greater...
